    I had a couple old laptops that I figured out how to mine monero specifically. Its WAY easier to mine thanks to other anons. Its probably the most streamlined walkthrough for mining that I have ever seen. Its not that much but its better than the useless coins I was mining previously. Monero is one of the boys that could actually naturally exist without government subsidies, in fact the government probably wants you using the easier to track coins.

    I do a fair amount of Monero mining on my 5900 in the winter when I need the extra heat. Here are some observations:
    *Overclocking is a waste of energy. Profitability is marginal enough as it is.
    *Huge pages is a MUST. That alone roughly doubled my hash rate without effecting power consumption.
    *Running on Windows I had to manually disable automatic memory compression. For some absurd reason Windows 10 really liked to randomly tank the hash rate by trying to do this. For a while I thought my system was unstable, but nope. Just Windows being windows.
    *I saw no meaningful gain from memory overclocking, but a very noticeable boost by tightening memory timings, and that included secondary and tertiary timings.
    *Last I checked, mining would have yielded roughly half a Monero per year of continuous mining. There's really no money in it, but every miner not on a major pool makes the network a little more secure.

    • @igelineau
      @igelineau Год назад +6

      I agree with most, but:
      if you need to heat your home, "overclocking is a waste of energy" is irrelevant. Your CPU is a heater. Overclocking increases the wattage of that heater. If it doesn't heat your home, your regular non-XMR-generating heater will do it.

      @@johnmilner6375 Can't be bothered. Though I've got this little note I made when I fixed the Windows memory shenanigans:
      Disable-MMAgent -mc
      taskschd.msc:
      Task Cheduler library / Microsoft / Windows / MemoryDiagnostic / RunFullMemoryDiagnostic -> disabled
      It was a long time ago so I don't remember the details. However this made a disproportionately large difference considering how obscure this crap is.
      Proper memory tuning is VERY time consuming and the gains, although significant, are still modest compared to the effort. Don't bother with it unless your idea of a good time involves spending a week+ deciphering cryptic bios variable names, researching how they are connected, and endlessly comparing benchmark values to see if the latest tweak made things better or worse.
      Everything else is really well documented already and should be trivial to figure out with a few web searches. Well, trivial if you're tech savvy enough to be interested in monero mining. Again, there's very little money in it. The only reason to do it is to support the project.

    Another piece of advice to optimize XMRig is to ideally have a minimal setup just for mining. So drop into the tty, kill your greeter, maybe reboot beforehand (because of huge pages sometimes failing to allocate) and don't mess with the CPU settings. It likely won't increase the hashrate. I have a 4 core CPU but my cache is too small to run anything more than 2 threads. XMRig will deduce the settings for you.

    • @rars0n
      @rars0n Год назад +30

      I can tell you right now that if you want the absolute best hash rate out of your CPU, you definitely will have to manually adjust the settings. On almost every CPU I've tried, I get a higher hash rate by setting core affinity to one thread per physical CPU core (in other words, no Hyperthreading). In order to do this, you have to set both the number of threads and the CPU core affinity (google "cpu affinity mask calculator"). By default, XMRig will just try to run as many threads as the CPU allows, and I've even seen it using 13 threads on a 12-core CPU.
      For maximum hash rate OR maximum efficiency, even more testing would be required to actually dial in the voltage and other settings of the CPU. You definitely don't want to run a Zen 4 CPU, for instance, at stock settings if you're trying to get maximum efficiency out of it.

    Now that Monero has reached the final inflation rate (which means there won't be whales and money keepers like in bitcoin), using Monero is so easy that the only missing part is people actually receiving monero.
    Btw, it's financially better to use Monero only, since there are no taxes on pure crypto in most countries (only on the benefits from buying/selling crypto). This means that if someone receives a wage in crypto, pays rent in crypto, and buy things in crypto, there is essentially no money to tax.

      One XMR tx is about 4 lines of info to one line for a BTC tx. BUT, if people want to try to mix their btc for example, they need to make wayyy more than 4 tx’s to hopefully have something that barely resembles the privacy you get by simply using Monero. Also, the cost of storage continues to become much cheaper every year. pretty much matching the pace of demand for storage maybe? and Monero tx continue to become smaller and more efficient too.

      I run Monero miner as a docker instance on Unraid. It has it's own set of cores that it pegs whilst VMs, other docker images and the hypervisor do their own thing. It doesn't mine much at all but it's a bit and it stops the CPU from trying to sleep which can cause weird issues on AMD sometimes. It also keeps a bit of heat output going which is nice as it's in the same room as my snake which has heating anyway.

    4:12 Also in Bitcoin, there's a steady incentive to keep mining it. Because of the small block size, there will likely be a lot of competition to get a block, which causes the fees to go up.
    If fees are too expensive, less people will use Bitcoin, so the fees won't be so expensive anymore. This will lead to less miners and reduced network security. Since the highest network security is an important selling point of Bitcoin, this might lead to a decrease in price, so the users are willing to pay more fees again, so the price doesn't go down any further.
    I don't think, there is a downward spiral bitcoin could go down. But if there is because of that, it would most likely benefit Monero.

    • @rars0n

      Lots of people have said that bitcoin's hash power will go to zero, or something to that effect, when the block rewards go away. Yet here we are, with total bitcoin adoption likely still under 10%, and block rewards are the lowest they've ever been, yet hashing power is at its highest. IMO such statements are the result of an inadequate understanding of how bitcoin works.

      google f.e. "nicehash calculator" - for CPUs it will show RandomXmonero, as probably there isn't any more CPU friendly crypto atm, for my 5950X it shows 1-2$ profit monthly (with el. bills)😀

    Hello, i downloaded the Windows version of the xmrig, and it doesnt look the same as yours, and i cant type in anything, im really dead in the water when it comes to this so if anyone has a solution i would greatly appreciate it :)
    It also says ''OPENCL DISABLED, CUDA DISABLED''
    As well as its saying it failed to apply MSR MOD.
    Also that huge pages is 0% 0/4 memory for the cpu 😶‍🌫🤔🤔

    Will mining Monero make you rich? Almost definitely no, but will it make you epic and based? Indeed.

      do you earn even a little bit by mining btw? i have a laptop but electricity is free for me right now...

      @@myfavouritecolorisgreen well if your electricity is free then you're technically guaranteed to make a profit, though if I had to guess it'd probably be in the range of a couple dollars a month if you don't have a very high end cpu
